Iceman George beat Spanish Plume at Leicester 11 days ago but it would be no surprise if the top weight, blinkered for the first time here, reversed the form on today's revised terms. YOUM JAMIL has been jumping lately but was only beaten a length off this mark on the Polytrack in January and could be interesting if reproducing that form back on Turf. Gladstone has been in good form on the all-weather and is another with claims if handling the surface but stamina doubts surround Perfect Outlook, second over a mile here last time, and Glens Wobbly has had plenty of chances.
